Der Deutsche Sparer- German savers and low interest rates of 0.25% in Germany
03/03/2012
Only about 9.4 million Germans own stocks and mutual funds. German savings are much higher than int the U.S.- about 10% compared to 5%. The low interest rates and conservative approach of workers and middle class in avoiding equity investments especially after the 2008-2009 financial crisis means that their savings are falling behind inflation and declining in value. Media reports in Bild and Der Spiegel are critical of this transfer of wealth from workers and the middle class to upper income Germans. Increase in stock and mutual fund investments by Germans are still only about 5%, with a 5% decline in savings deposits, meaning workers and middle class still are risk averse to equities.

Creating a company of doers with extensive experience and great work with a flat organization
03/03/2012
Tracy Dolgin of the YES cable network takes a cue from the Peter Principle and hires people with experience who are doers and not managers. Doers can be poor managers as they get promoted and the lesson learned is to have most or all of the company's people in executing and doing as opposed to managing. The result is a flat organization with a focus on getting things done with people who excel at what they do. For larger companies it means having people spend at least 50% of their time doing rather than managing.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
